The ad is gone already, but I drove different models of ZAZ long time ago. It was a fun car with amazing ability to go on worst roads ever, but as it often was with soviet cars, quality was quite low and engine tend to overheat easily.

Very impressive.
I noticed unusual routing of new windshield washer tubing in the hood: no check-valves, etc. Could you please post close-up photo and explain what is the new set up?
Thanks!
